All the things fans love are coming back with a vengeance in Season 3 of DALLAS. Those wily Ewings and their many nemeses are back with blood feuds, scandalous sex, and big money deals. The world of DALLAS has never shied away from going big. It’s go big or go home. That’s their style and they feel perfectly at home amongst the vast prairies and oil fields of Texas, as well as the high-powered boardrooms and lascivious bedrooms.
The Season 2 heart-break of losing J.R. Ewing (R.I.P. Larry Hagman) is a shadow hard to overcome, but DALLAS remembers its roots and allows John Ross (Josh Henderson), the son of J.R. to take the spotlight as the show’s slippery hero with a devastating smile. It also showcases the other Ewings and their Barnes and Ryland counterparts with equal measure and allows each to carry a storylines deeply intertwined in each other’s lives. [Read more…]
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons to Take A Peek at the CW’s Alien Drama Series STAR-CROSSED
There is much to appreciate in the new CW drama STAR-CROSSED. First, it has aliens. Second, they have very attractive aliens. Third, it has a lovely dash of romance running through the story. Fourth, it is not just a romance, there is a huge storyline involving rebels on both the human and alien sides who stir up quite a bit of trouble. And fifth, the show remembers to have fun.

When the Atrians first crash on Earth, they were not warmly welcomed. Instead, they were hunted down like invaders and tossed into an internment camp known as the Sector. Only after 10 years of forced-incarceration do humans take the tentative steps to trying to integrate the Atrians into human society. It is done with marked reluctance on both sides as each is fearful of the other. The lack of understanding between the two species demands a level of compassion that few humans or Atrians seem to possess.

As introduced by Paul Hewitt, the CW’s head of publicity, STAR-CROSSED is described as an “intergalactic love story, where a boy meets girl after boy’s spaceship crashes on the planet’s surface and their budding relationship is tested amid the rising tensions between the human race and the alien species.”

Characters Welcome: Why We’re Tickled Pink Over the Success of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
With an unparalleled amount of praise, it can easily be said that ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK is one of this years best new shows. From nominations to magazine covers, this show is all anyone talks about. I can honestly say one of my favorite past times this year has been asking people if they have watched OITNB, and if they say they haven’t seen it, then I tell them they MUST watch it. The I get the text saying “you ruined my life, when does the second season come out.”
Avid TV watchers will agree when I say ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK changed television, or at least changed the way we watch television. Not only did we finally understand the term “binge watching” we realized it’s actually a life style. And the funny thing about the women’s prison hit is, it’s not even on television! OITNB is a Netflix original, which means it, was produced for Netflix only and can only be viewed on the online streaming service.
The reason so many people watch to see what happens to Piper (Taylor Schilling) or Alex (Laura Prepon) isn’t because it’s got the hottest fashions in TV. (Those orange and beige jumpsuits really aren’t that flattering) And it’s not because of the huge guest stars or elaborate sets. Instead it’s because of Jenji Kohan’s brilliant characters.

THE BLACKLIST Scoop: EPs Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath and Star Parminder Nagra Tease What’s Next
NBC’s hit drama THE BLACKLIST, master criminal and spy Red Reddington turned himself in to the FBI so that he could aid them in tracking the world’s most notorious criminals. Whether out of altruism or self-interested motivations, Red’s information turned out to be dead-on and it helped capture numerous evil-doers from the global theater. But in the mid-season finale, Red’s personal enemies sought to capture him and after a deadly standoff, he surrendered and then escaped. When THE BLACKLIST returned, we saw how Red methodically enacted his retribution in tracking down all those who enabled the trap sprung on him. Red is not exactly comfortable with the FBI right now after having been betrayed once and it nearly cost him and Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) their lives. So with a tenuous alliance in place, Red’s adventures in tracking down everyone down that he has on his personal “blacklist” continues. Aiding in that endeavor is fellow FBI agent Meera Malik (Parminder Nagra).
